Pro longing detention of freedom leaders is worst kind of ‘state terrorism: Geelani

Srinagar: Terming the arrests of pro-freedom leaders and activists and prolonging of their detention as a worst kind of state terrorism, chairman Hurriyat Conference (G), Syed Ali Geelani said that due to the arrogance of power, administration and police are subjecting Kashmiris to the “political Vengeance”. The so-called local rulers are punishing Kashmiris for their freedom sentiments.

According to a statement issued to KNS, history have witnessed the worst and humiliating end of oppressors but the oppressors every time instead of taking lesson from the history, have joined the race of their precedents in cruelty and oppression. Geelani said that these arrests were unjustified and unconstitutional from the very first day and now prolonging of these detentions are the clear and worst kind of human rights violations. Detaining people despite bail and court orders is actually the sign of arrogance and pride.

Geelani said that the large number of youth and pro-freedom leaders are still in different police stations and jails like Mohammad Ashraf Sehraie, Ayaz Akbar, Dr. G. M. Ganie, Ameer Hamza, Shabir Ahmad Shah, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Mushtaq-ul-Islam, Jazib, Naveed Ubaid, Jeela Gutoo, Faisal Amin, Aqib student of 7th class residents of Shopian, Mohammad Ashraf Peer Batagund Islamabad, Bashir Ahmad Wani Soof Shaligund, Mubarak Ahmad Wani Banga Dar Islamabad, Mohammad Sayeed Bhat Dirhama Islamabad, Nisar Ahmad Bhat Aarwani Islamabad, Ishfrq Ahmad Dar Batpora Bijbihara, Jan Mohammad Bhat Naina Batpora, Riyaz Ahmad Dar Aadipora Sopore, Faheem Changal Sopore, Mohammad Waseem Shah Sopore, Mohammad Imran Shah Sopore, Sajad Ahmad Dar Sopore, Manzoor Ahmad Sofi Sopore, Tanveer Ahmad Sopore, Nazir Ahmad Shah Sopore, Parveez Ahmad Sopore, Danish Ahmad Changal Kushal Mutoo Sopore, Barkat Ahmad Mir Brath Kanal Sopore, Himam Hussain Nara Sopore, Abdul Hameed Paray hajan, Waseem Ahmad Pulwama, Zubair Ahmad Turay Shopian, Mohammad Yaseen Yatoo nagam Chadoora, Manzoor Ahmad Najar Pandhan Chadoora, Abdul Hameed Teli Pandan Chadoora, Riyaz Ahmad Dar Pandan Chadoora, Mohammad Hanief Wani Namtahal Chadoora, Junaid-ul-Islam Mouchowa, Muzaffar Ahmad Malik Chadoora, Mohammad Younis Ganie Chadoora, Gulzar Ahmad Sofi Chadoora, Mehraj-ud-din Hajan, Asadullah Parray Hajan, Nasuralah Mir, Feroz Ahmad Magray, Ishfaq Ahmad Parray Hajan, Manzoor Ahmad Dar Hajan, Ghulam Jeelani Hajan, Mumtaz Ahmad Dar Hajan, Showkat Ahmad Khan Hajan, Azhar-ud-din Dar Hajan, while as block president of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat of Sheeri Narwaw Baramullah Abdul Rashid Rather was arrested today by police in Baramulla court premises. While demanding immediate release of all the detainees, Geelani said that otherwise we will be forced to react. Geelani also expressed his deep concern over the fabrication of pro-freedom youth in false and baseless charges to justify their arrests and detention. He said that the drug addiction and social evils are spreading under a well organized plan of police and administration and the license and permissions for alcohol are provided by the state government, so that the young generation of Kashmir will fall prey to the drug and liquor addiction and they will be detached from the freedom movement of Kashmir and they will accepted the Indian illegal and forced occupation. Meanwhile Geelani has strongly condemned the police action against the Tehreek-e-Hurriyat activist Manzoor Ahmad Reshi of Kunzar Tangmarg.(KNS)
